DashCommand Clarion Next GATE

Pleasant Grove, UT (September 2012)—Palmer Performance Engineering, the creator of DashCommand™, the industry’s leading in-vehicle performance data monitoring app, announced today that Clarion Corporation of America chose to integrate the newest version of DashCommand for iOS (v3.2.0) into its innovative in-vehicle Next GATE smartphone controller. Clarion’s Next GATE takes the best features of the iPhone®, including access to internet radio, GPS, voice dialing, and voice activation, and uses them in conjunction with a variety of specialized apps optimized for in-vehicle use, such as DashCommand, to enhance the user’s in-vehicle communication experience.

DashCommand gives automotive enthusiasts a direct line of communication to their vehicles, as its virtual gauges display almost anything they might want to know about their vehicles’ systems in real time. Advanced engine parameters, performance data, fuel economy data, trip statistics, and even racetrack mapping, g-force measurements, and an inclinometer (for off-roading) can all be viewed on up to 27 customizable gauges on their smartphone screens. Data is pulled directly from the vehicle’s OBD-II port through a low-cost OBD-II connection device (available separately). With up to 229 OBD-II parameters at their fingertips, users can also operate DashCommand as a scan tool to read and clear OBD-II trouble codes that trigger the “check engine” light.

“We are happy to offer the DashCommand App compatibility with our Next GATE,” states Frank Pierce, Vice President, Clarion Corporation of America. “DashCommand offers Next GATE users another great way to stay connected while in their vehicle and to keep up-to-date on important vehicle stats and performance.”

DashCommand for iOS is available through the iTunes® App Store℠ and is compatible with the iPhone, iPad®, and iPod touch®.
